Ok, so here is why this is one of the best James Bond films ever made. It does a spy story in a pretty close to realistic way. Now, I'm not saying I don't like some of the more over the top things in other films that much. I just love that this feels like it could have happened around a pretty enjoyable agent. However, it is still pretty damn fun to watch unlike some "real" spy films I've seen. I think Connery is really high into his role at this point, and stays that way for a few more before he gets bored.
All the other actors are great in this too, especially the bad guy who goes on to fight a great white shark in a Spielberg film. And a lot of people underestimate the quality of cinematography. I love the entire train scene. It is so long but flies past me it is so good. Anyway, make sure you watch this one if you're interested in Bond a little bit.
Just as amazing as the first two. The plot felt a little bit darker, but the slightly geeky fantasy charm of the previous movies is still here, and the plot is still engaging. And even though we're so far into the franchise, the characters still continues to grow, which is really awesome.
This is still a must see for any fantasy lover, and I can't wait for the fourth one!
